Taipei, June 18, 2025 – A new chapter in Web3 gaming begins today as Lootex, the Taiwan-based NFT marketplace team, officially launches its highly anticipated cyber-runner game, Xynth88, on the LINE MINI App.
A Futuristic Escape Through Neon Streets
Set against the glowing backdrop of a cyberpunk metropolis, Xynth88 immerses players in a high-speed runner experience that blends traditional mobile gameplay with the revolutionary elements of blockchain technology. Now available on LINE MINI App—boasting over 200 million users globally—the game allows users to jump in instantly, no downloads required.
Players take on the role of a fugitive racing through a tech-drenched cityscape, dodging obstacles, collecting digital shards, and unlocking powerful upgrades to climb international leaderboards. With intuitive swipe controls, addictive rhythmic pacing, and visually striking neon environments, Xynth88 promises a “pick-up-and-play” thrill ride for both gamers and crypto enthusiasts.
Symbolism Behind the Name
The game’s title, Xynth88, carries deeper meaning: “X” stands for the unknown, and “88” symbolizes infinity—reflecting the limitless possibilities in this Web3-powered chase into the future. The game aims not only to entertain but to redefine what it means to own and interact with digital characters in gaming.
Meet Torimaru: NFT Character Marks New Era of Ownership
Launching alongside the game is Torimaru, the first unlockable NFT character in Xynth88. A lone samurai from a dystopian future, Torimaru wields twin blades called Asakage, embodying legacy and honor. More than just a playable avatar, Torimaru is a fully verified, tradable digital asset minted on Sony’s Soneium blockchain.
As a non-fungible token (NFT), Torimaru offers players true digital ownership. This means the character isn’t confined to one game or platform—it can be used across ecosystems, traded in marketplaces, or even function as a player’s identity asset within broader virtual spaces. Lootex calls this shift a “digital sovereignty revolution,” ushering in an age where in-game items gain permanence, value, and utility beyond the game itself.
Sony’s Soneium Blockchain and LINE MINI App: Powering Seamless Web3 Access
Xynth88 is built with accessibility in mind. Players can experience the game directly within the LINE MINI App, bypassing app stores and downloads. This integration is key to mainstream adoption, Lootex says, by removing friction points traditionally associated with blockchain gaming.
NFT assets like Torimaru are minted and recorded on Sony’s Soneium blockchain, a high-performance decentralized network designed for speed, scalability, and security. The partnership between Lootex, Sony Soneium, and LINE MINI App reflects a broader ambition: to bring Web3 gaming to the masses through seamless, frictionless, mobile-first design.
More NFT Heroes and Expanding the Digital Universe
Lootex has big plans for the future of Xynth88. The studio will release new NFT characters, each inspired by unique cultural narratives and backstories, enabling players to find their digital counterpart in the growing Xynth universe. These characters will also be compatible with other Web3 platforms and games, reinforcing the vision of a fully interoperable digital identity system.
“We believe games are the most natural bridge for introducing Web3 to everyday users,” the Lootex team said in a statement. “With Xynth88, we’re not just building a game—we’re building a world where digital assets are truly yours.”
The Future of Gaming is Fast, Connected, and Decentralized
As Xynth88 launches, it sets the stage for a new era in gaming, where blockchain-backed characters, seamless mobile access, and community-driven growth converge. With major backing from global tech platforms and a bold creative vision, the game marks a critical step toward the mainstreaming of Web3 gaming—one neon-lit swipe at a time.
